64 GB |
~10Gbps throughput |
We recommend that you do not change the Edge VM resource allocation after deploying it. Aviatrix support may not be able to assist with any issue that occurs on a system with customized resource allocation. |
Over subscription of host resources can lead to a reduction of performance and your instance could become unstable. We recommend that you follow the guidelines and the best practices for your host hypervisor.
